Interesting findings in my purchase.

So apparently my bored out 350 turns out to be a 305 which is most likely stock. The only thing I can find on the engine without removing anything is this.

I did some googling and everything points to a 305, even if it is, I'm not too worried about it but why lie about what the truck has in it? If anything I can always throw the 327/400 I have been saving for something like this. I have to get the code off of that engine again and see if it will even bolt to this 5LM60. Probably not even a damn G80 rear or 3.42's in the back either.

I went out and looked again, I found another stamp which says 638 on the front of the block so now I'm just lost, which is it? lol, I think I need another beer.

Tomorrow I will attempt to get my rear on top of the motor and work on getting a pic of the back of the motor to find some more info.

Compnine will show that way that it was when it left the factory but not what is in there now.

Yeah, the vin is a K which normally would be a 350 but the twit i bought it from said it has been "bored out" which for 306k miles on it, it doesn't leak a damn thing and it run decent except for the code 43 issue. When I brought the truck home for the first time, the clutch wouldn't work and further inspection showed that the engine and transmission was never properly bolted together. They were sitting about a half of an inch apart which is why the clutch didn't work.

the actual casting number is on the lip of the engine that the bellhousing bolts to that's the really only for sure way to know what it is and only way to tell .30 over is pull heads usually easy to tell if its a .30 (if its running in a vehicle) is its a hell of a lot snappier then a stock 350

It surely wants to go but I'm assuming is retarding the timing when I attempt to smash the throttle even half way. So haven't gotten a chance to look on the deck of theon the block to see what the number is. Here's hoping it's actually a 5.7.

 

[AgentYager]

So it is confirmed, it is fact a 305 of some sort.
